Modern Wedding Invitation Ideas

• Modern wedding invitations not only mean contemporary but also mean that they draw from aspects of modern art. Modern wedding invitations should use accent colors and sophisticated design. Modern art is very minimalist and clean cut, so model your invitations after this style.
  
  

Sleek

• A sleek design is important for modern wedding invitations. Choose a design that has clean cut lines and utilizes accent colors. For example, use black and white for the text, and include a bold stripe on the side that is a bright color, like pink or lime green. Make sure the invitations follow the colors you chose for your wedding. Also keep in mind that modern invitations indicate that your wedding will have a modern theme as well.
  
  

Swirls

• While straight lines are often used, a splash of tasteful swirls and floral designs work as well. For example, have black and white invitations to keep the design simple and sophisticated. Then add an outline or silhouette of antique flowers in the background. Other similar antique designs work with modern invitations as well.
  
  

Embellished

• Embellish your invitations to give them a three-dimensional homemade look. You can make these at home or have them custom made. For example, start with a black invitation and then add a smaller white paper in the middle. The edges should look rough and unfinished. On top of that, put a brightly colored cutout of a wedding cake or a silhouette of a bride and groom (like the cake toppers) in the center of the white section. Use a simplistic font when writing on these. You can write it yourself or print it on by computer.
